Pros: - Love this pencil! :D - ALL Metal - Click to extend the lead Cons: - I bought the TK 9400 Faber Castell while i was in London and i actually prefer the look of it to this Staedtler pencil. (The Faber Castell was also ~8 dollars cheaper -cost 5 pounds in London-) - The Faber Castell simply lets the lead slide out, yet at times, i prefer that because i can regulate the length of the lead in the blink of an eye w/o taking time to click away to extend the lead of this pencil. Still, i keep both lead holders in my main pencil case just for fun :]

I have this pencil and it is fabulous. Although I don't think it should be a lead holder, I think it should be just a regular Drafting Pencil to me. Anyways, LOVE DIS PENCIL!!!!!!!! Anyone who sees this pencil buy it! P.S. One lead stick should last you about 6 months to a year, If you don't push it down too hard and don't use it every single day.

I'd give 10/10 to this pencil, but I'll give 9/10 for not having an integrated lead pointer.. and it won't fit in the staedtler rotatory lead pointer, which is a real shame.. =( If it wasn't for that, this pencil would definitely be perfect in every aspects.

All metal body feels nice in the hand, the knurling & grip pattern provides GRIP (like sandpaper). Smooth feed action, and good balance.

i LOVE IT!!! nicely design tool for drawing at any width up to 2mm. I ordered this pencil without knowing how popular this tool is among it competitors in this category. Jetpens.com provide good business. So i went back and ordered the lead pointer two weeks later. Three week going by and i wished to order another one of this pencil. Accidently, i found Pixie had the exact tool for less. I wish Jetpen would beat their competitor in price because i wouldn't want to leave Jetpens.

Finally got mine. It's sweet! It really changes the feel of working with 2mm lead, giving the sturdiness and precision that even well-made plastic lead holders seem not to deliver. No problems with anything coming loose. The quality of the grip area is phenomenal-- it's really much smoother than it looks. It's very high friction, but the pattern is cut shallow enough that it doesn't seem to dig into your skin and cause pain. The only downside to this thing is that it made me want another one-- this time in that cool new dark blue color! I see it at pixiemall, can't Jetpens get it?

2mm lead holders cannot possibly get better than this... seriously. good weight, well balanced, no more lead dropping. what more do you want?! oh did i mention ALL metal build? its about as good as it gets.

I love this lead holder. You cannot use a rotary pointer but other manual pointers are fine. For those that would want to know the grades that can be selected are 4h, 2h, h, hb, b, 2b and 4b. Great for artist that use multiple lead grades in their work.

I think this is a wonderful product. I keep one in my bag, and combined with Uni HB leads, it delivers nicer lines and a more pleasant writing experience than pretty much any other pencil I've ever used. I have a bunch of Mono 100s and Hi-Unis lying around my place, but when I'm at work and want to use a pencil, this is the one I reach for most often.

Beautiful lead holder and works well. Love the fact the fact that the lead advances like a .5 / .7 / .9 lead pencil. Two drawbacks to this leadholder: 1. does not fit the standard rotary lead pointer. 2. the metal piece where the pencil is held keeps unscrewing loose. It is quite annoying to have to keep having to tighten it. This interupts the workflow terribly.

The best 2mm graphite holder. I use it with Staedtler B sticks or 2B. Awesome. Also 0.5mm is great for writing or drawing too depending on your style but with 2.0mm you can doo anything, thin to thicker lines. If you do not like to sharpen once in a while than use H or 2H or even F 2.0 mm sticks. I noticed they have the same holder now in Japan in blue metal, that would be nice to have too. Maybe one day JetPens will bring us over that nice pencil also. It would be nice to use with different type of graphite (different hardness or even color graphite). TNX

I use a 2.0mm and 0.5mm for drawing. this is the only set that has the .5 and 2.0 with the same body. and its click feed which is also rare. the rotring 800 2.0 also is click feed but way over priced imo. I use to use the 925 when they were made out of metal but then they switched to plastic and now you have to get the 925 25 which pissed me off. but the fact that they made a 2.0mm with the new 925 25 got me back. I can't describe how much this lead holder rocks.... really I can't. I got 2 and will probably order 2 more. and backups of the .5 also. best lead holder EVER...
